Does it use a battery or cable? If battery, how long does it last for?

he Alert cameras use power over the ethernet cable. A full package will include the plugins that provide power to the cames from any conveneint 120v power outlet and then send the data back to a "receiver" pluged in near yur router. It all works well. If you get a bare camera, there are third party POE ethernet hubs that can provide the power and ethernet connection but usually needing longer ethernet rund.

It uses a cable. It receives power and networks via a powerline network module, i.e. networking over the household electrical wiring. Note, this is an add-on camera, and requires that at least 1 master unit be present. The "master" unit is simply one of their cameras packaged with two powerline network modules. One for the camera itself, and the other unit attaches to your home router providing connectivity through your household wiring to your networking equipment. This can be bypassed, "IF", you intend to use stand-alone and have a PoE switch in your network to power this device, AND you are using some other software other than the included Alert software. Unfortunately, since you're asking this question, you're unfamiliar with the product line, but more importantly that Logitech is not supporting this business unit properly. They have been attempting to sell off this unit, and updates to the product line/software have been virtually non-existent for the past year. The price hikes are not because these are the best in market. It is due to supply and demand. Systems already in the market seeking additional cameras are drying up the existing supply. Logitech has indicated on their website that add-on cameras will continue to be available and supplies increased shortly, but no more master systems. That pretty much says it all as to where this product line/business unit is headed. Unless it gets purchased by another company, it is pretty much game over. I would highly suggest bypassing this as a solution and seek another for long term viability and support. These cameras were worth it when they retailed for $279 or less, but with the whacked out market prices of more than that, it is definitely NOT worth the investment!

There is no battery. The Logitech camera is plugged into a wall outlet, which also is the conduit by which the system works. You do not need to run cable in your house to make this system work, it uses your home's electrical system. Hope that helps.

Yes it uses batteries or you can plug it in (if you get all that come with it.) see the other reviews. I was apparently lucky to get both lol

I have not looked for a cable. At any rate, the batteries last for months and I leave it on most of the time. Good product. You'd still likely need batteries for the sensor.

It does not use any battery. It connects to your source and the power is derived from your source i think.

No battery needed. You recharge it with a USB cord connected to your computer.

it has an internal battery - it comes with the cord which you connect the keyboard to a standard household outlet. basically the same as charging a cell phone. in fact, many cell phone cables will work with it also. i've plugged mine into the same car charger cord i use for my cell to enable charging while i drive. so far, i've found that the battery holds power for much longer than i'd expected before needing to be recharged. hope this makes a little bit of sense - i'm not much of an electronic whiz so my wording is not very "techy" : (

This one takes battery. It doesn't get charged. The ones that get charged, have a chargeable battery and you just plug it to electricity.

It uses a button battery, I have owned it for almost a year and use it all the time without major issue. It uses the ultra lower power consumption bluetooth transceiver so I wouldn't worry about battery life. It is not rechargeable though, you have to buy a new one when it dies.

It has a cable and does not need batteries but it includes a battery inside that cannot be bought and is the power bank itself

It does not use batteries. You have to either plug it into an outlet or the car.

There is no battery needed. Alternatively, if you wanted to use a battery pack you probably can, but again, not needed. It comes with a Mini USB Male to Common (A-Type) USB Male Cable. Ive powered this from a laptop and had no issues. I also plugged it into an extra USB Adapter from an old phone and worked great.

It uses a rechargeable battery and includes a usb cable so you can connect to your computer. I also plugged mine into a wall charger for phones and it worked just fine.

The battery doesn't. The base unit has an aux port. Not sure the cable is provided..

Mine did come with a battery however, I didn't buy it brand new. It was refurbished. If you're just looking for a cable modem, you can do much better than this one. If you need the EMTA capability, there are also better alternatives. After using my uBee cable modem for a few months, I decided to retire it forever.

It comes with a USB cable. I charged it out of the box took 4 hours to complete. This is assuming it already had some charge in the battery when it arrived.
